Bluestone Masonry

The best. Quality and detailed work at a fair price. Starts and finishes work as promised. I wouldn’t consider anyone else!

Robert and his Bluestone Masonry were absolutely great - thoroughly professional, extremely responsive, and top-notch quality of work. We were preparing our house for sale and needed some work done on our front porch, and we were under a very tight deadline. Robert went out of his way to fit us into his schedule. He knew his stuff, and fixed up our porch to make it look very good. His price was very good. He was very honest and economical about what needed to be done, he did not try to exaggerate the job. Trustworthiness meets responsiveness and quality work.

The quality of work was excellent and the price was much lower than competitors. The only downside was it took about two months for them to get to us, due to multiple jobs ahead of us (that likely reflects their low cost and quality of work). Very pleased with the end product and would use again.

The work was perfect, especially the curved corners that were difficult to make. Mr. Ivanics was skilled, cooperative, responsible, and friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better contractor.

Beautifully. As promised, when promised. On budget.

Mr. Ivanics is a master mason and an artist. He painstakingly replaced our patio (brick border and flagstone) with great care and a perfectionist?s attention to detail. He did what he said he would do; he came when he said he would come; and he always went the extra mile. We could not be more pleased with the results, and will definitely hire him in a heartbeat the next time we need stone work.

Mr. Ivanics gave us a free estimate and answered all of our questions. He and his team were professional and we are very satisfied with their work.

Our stonewall at backyard was crumbling, it had many loose and falling pieces at top and sides. Mr. Ivanics spent more than a day to fix it. He did a very good job, the repaired stonewall looks nice and neat. Several flagstones of our front door steps were loose. An employee of his spent a day to reset all stones. The repaired steps look like new. Mr. Ivanics was responsive and hard-working. He was able to complete the job during a few good days of the winter.

All went Perfectly.  We set up an appointment for the free estimate.  He came on time and did not rush us. He told us how he would repair the steps and if new bricks were needed that they would not match the old brick.  He alos explained that he would try to match  the mortar color as best he could but our walkway was over 20 years old so an exact match may not be possible. I appreciated this information and there were no surprises.  
We agreed on a time to start the work but weather delays interfered  with the schedule.  This is to expected with any outside, weather dependent job.  Once the weather cleared, he and his crew showed up on time, did the job beyond my expectations, and completely cleaned up.
From start to finish, a very professional company. The stairs and walkway look great.

Excellent and prompt work.

Robert Ivanics is wonderful!! Can not sing enough of his praises - I've used him before but this job was amazing!! I showed Robert pictures of Colonial Williamsburg - how they use brick in the front of the homes like a large drain. I wanted the same since we have a New England-style Saltbox home! I asked for just a plain running bond pattern of bricks set in sand. Robert did a job that was so much MORE than I expected! He installed a row of bricks to act as an anchor, or solid edge, so that the rows of bricks can't shift over time. He mortared this in to the foundation of the home!!! WOW He was thoughtful and diligent in picking bricks that would match our existing ones. We did a great job cutting the bricks to fit around 2 existing clematis vines.

I thought this would be a one day job, it took several, but it's only because he went above and beyond !! I'm still tickled pink everyday when I see the new bricks.

You cannot go wrong with Bluestone Masonry and Robert Ivanics. H E KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING!! !! I trust him totally, and will use him again. Thank you Robert, you're the best!!

Robert of Bluestone did an outstanding job - he is a perfectionist. We would definitely use Bluestone again.

Although there was a fairly long delay to get on Robert's schedule (due to his being busy), he started the work in the time frame he had earlier estimated, he did the job in excellent fashion, and he charged a reasonable price. We were happy with the work and would use him again for any stone work.

I Love this company - found them thru Angie's List! And Bluestone Masonry lived up to the reviews. Robert Ivanics is very knowledgeble and very honest. I asked him about other jobs on my property ( a brick column in the garden is leaning, and broken bricks in the driveway edging) and he didn't try to up sell me.
The front porch job was messy, they used a saw to cut thru old mortar and it makes lots of dust - but they did a very good job of keeping the dust down. Job was done in one day! My porch looks great and no more water seeping into the basement!!
Highly recommend.

My overall experience with him was excellent. He did an excellent work. I never saw anyone work harder than him. He pays attention to details, very well placed, good design and does not take shortcuts. What I liked about him is that no detail is too small for him to ignore. He is an excellent craftsman. I have had a pretty positive experience with him. His price is excellent.

Kept in touch when weather was bad. Did job when promised. Very nice job, looks professional, price seems right to me.

Great experience from start to finish. We called them on Monday to schedule an estimate. They came out on Tuesday early morning and gave us the estimate. They came back out on Wednesday and did the work. They were even willing to come back out early Saturday morning to clean up. It went very smoothly and we are very pleased. Very professional and easy to interact with. Really know what they are doing. I would definitely recommend this company! We have already asked them to do another job for us.

From the original estimate visit to every step of the job, Robert (the owner of Bluestone and team leader) was outstandingly professional---detailing alternatives, assessing elements of work to be done, options to consider, etc. Since the house was about 55 years old, the size of brick today is not exactly the same as when built. Accommodating this involves more work if done right----and they did it right. Quality, courtesy, immaculate clean up, and friendliness were impossible to not be impressed by----its just way beyond what we at least consider good quality service today. Without any doubt, I would recommend Bluestone to anyone needing masonry work.

Incredibly well. Not only is Robert extremely reasonable in pricing, but he is a perfectionist, very precise in his work. I had been told this when I checked references prior to selecting him. He was very careful to think about and deal with issues related to the grade of the stoop/walkway and adhered perfectly to his level line. The brick work looks perfect. The final product is impeccable. On top of this, he is incredibly nice and likeable. I have never felt so favorable to a contractor. I have referred him on to several other jobs, and the people who had him do the work are thanking me. We are in the midst of considering him for a very large project for the neighborhood pool, and I hope that he gets the work. I am pretty sure he will based on all the quotes and information we have.
